• October 12 -- Bullying, Brazen Bush?
"Challenging Rest of the World With a New Order" parrots the usual charges of Bush the unilateralist: "It is a characterization of Mr. Bush's foreign policy style often heard around the world: bullying, unreceptive, brazen. The result, critics of this administration contend, has been a disastrous loss of international support, damage to American credibility, the sullying of America's image and a devastating war that has already taken more than 1,000 American lives."

• October 11 -- Pity the Put-Upon French in Oil-for-Food Scandal
Steven Weisman looks at the U.N. scandal involving French involvement in the corrupt oil-for-food program as yet another Bush failure of diplomacy: "The Bush administration's handling this week of a report on Saddam Hussein's attempts to purchase weapons and buy influence has angered French officials and set back a year of American efforts to repair the rupture caused by the Iraq war, French and other European officials said Friday."

• June 1 -- Reading Minds In Baghdad
Warren Hoge and Steven Weisman, reading minds in Baghdad: "After turning to the United Nations to shore up its failing effort to fashion a new government in Baghdad, the United States ended up Friday with a choice for prime minister certain to be seen more as an American candidate than one of the United Nations or the Iraqis themselves."

• January 16 -- Bush's Election-Year Ploy to Help Iraq
The Times puts its best cynical spin on a U.S. move to press the U.N. for action in Iraq: "Kofi Annan is said to be highly reluctant to give his blessing to what is widely seen as a jerry-built process in effect concocted to let the United States hand over sovereignty to Iraq by June 30, as the American elections get under way."

• December 12 -- Callers Grill Times on Baghdad Protest Blackout
When C-SPAN aired live from NYT's Washington bureau, callers asked bureau reporters and editors about the paper' lack of coverage of Wednesday's anti-terrorist demonstration in Baghdad--a question Times Watch and others have asked.

• November 14 -- With Friends Like These…
Citing Sen. Chuck Hagel, reporters Steven Weisman and Carl Hulse see a potential Republican crackup over Iraq. But Hagel is hardly an administration supporter on Iraq, and the Times knows it.

• September 24 -- Why Won’t Bush Apologize to the UN?
Two Times reporters covering Bush’s UN speech suggest Bush would have come off better had he been more “apologetic” toward the United Nations.

• August 6 -- Times Promises Warm Liberian Welcome for U.S. Troops
